I’ve liked Up Dharma Down since I saw their video “Pag-agos” on tv. I was very intrigued because I didn’t see any credits during the first time I saw it. Until the day that no one told me it was Up Dharma Down, I had no idea. “Pag-agos” was interesting not only because of that, [...]

Shopping for Lolita Fashion in the Philippines
Posted in Culture, Fashion on August 2, 2009 | 2 Comments »
There are no brands here in the Philippines so local lolitas must be resourceful. Some of them who have been making clothes and accessories for themselves seem to have opened online shops, knowing that there are kindred spirits who share their interests. I’ve bought some products from some of them already and I’m glad to [...]

These days I’ve been busy crafting at home. I guess that’s because the weather is not friendly enough for going out and taking pictures. I am sad that I can’t bring out my cameras much these days. But now that I have a sewing machine at home, I am more inspired to try out sewing [...]

I like Japanese things: Pinky:St dolls, bento boxes, manga, craft magazines, etc. One of my friends and her friend has set up an online business for people like me. Though of course, I didn’t order Pinkies anymore because I have HLJ for that. As for magazines, I thought it would be great to try out [...]

I was in Mangaholix last night after meeting my friend Renee in Bo’s Coffee. (We fangirled over L’arc en Ciel before I checked out the cosplays and stuff inside the convention hall! Hah!)

A friend and I met up earlier for coffee and we ended up talking about writing and literature in general. There’s this thing about writing and books that I end up talking with her about them. Anyhow, there’s this issue with “Ibong Mandaragit” recently and I just learned about it from her and other blog [...]
